Sorry Speedmedic... I dont own a digi camera...
But thats a good idea for you to buy me one for xmas.. then I can post heaps of pics

Great day.... meet up with a few up at Westgate, then we rode to Mt Wellington.... heaps of bikes.

The ride started out very slow... Yeah I was at the front and I was able to 'walk' my bike for some time. Then the pace picked up to 60km for the rest of the ride til we turned off into the city.... Down the bottom half of Queen Street and around to Britomart.

Total bikes, trikes and scooters = 450.

Then some of us KB'ers headed over to Mission Bay and had a nice sit down meal or drink.

Big Dave was swinging his camera around... so expect a few shots from him.

After that a few of us headed off to AMPS to check out a few bikes...
Yep we sat on a few of them... One of them I couldn't even reach the footpeg, its honestly that far forward.... let alone even get my feet to touch the ground. Now that 'Rocket' is HUGE.... what a monster of a bike.

Then 3 of us on the cruisers headed over to Colemans..... and then after a very short time, they kicked us out.... the lights went out.....
Yeah apparently they close at 2pm on a Saturday....

So a great day out with some really good people.
It was great to meet a few new Kb'ers as well.

Fucking wicked run. Bikes for ages in front of us and even more behind.

Who was it on the scooter with the KB patch? With the scooter club that went along.

Was funny looking in my mirror and seeing heaps of bikes, then this big cloud of two-stroke smoke, then even more bikes. Slashwylde has some pics aswell that he may post up a bit later.

Anyway, great meeting all those that I hadn't met before, LucyLoo, Heavenly.Talker, Fart, MacktheKnife, Outlawtorn(NOT Outlawton, Crashe...) The Stranger, Madguitarist, and all the others that I cannot for the life of me remember the names of at the moment.

(Sorry BD but I wanted to stand out a bit today hence the white shirt. Don't worry though, it's back to the black tomorrow.)

Hey Waylander were you at Barry's point road in the morning? If so I was the stranger

Craig = Bulldog :slap:

I had a great time on my VTR250. But even more unreal was the fact that when I got back to Cyclespot after the ride, I traded my bike in for a VTR1000!! I'm a bad man.

So I've been riding all day until now. Need a nanna nap I think. I have some photos. I'll attach.

what is a 'toy run'?

We met up with a group of bikes in Ngaruawahia who were on their way back home to Te Kuiti from todays Ak toy run, they said it was a great time but a bit too short lived from only Mt Wellington to the city.

[Divot]

Yeh what a great ride, good to see so many bikes out, must have been the sun. Just some of my photos.

This one is run by BRONZ and you take a toy to give to the Sally Army for kids at Xmas.

The next one I know off is the Cambridge one next year.

Totally right there...it needed to be longer!

If only I wasn't working. I hate working on riding days like these. Oh well means more time during the week.
